Requesting a feature

What is the current behavior?

The typeText command enters text character by character with no option to insert a block of text in a single keystroke.

What is the expected behavior?

A TypeOption should be added to insert a block of text in one keystroke.

Suggested syntax

await t.typeText(selector, text, { paste: true };

Specify your

• operating system: Linux Mint 17.1

• node.js version: 7.4
